NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 10: Back to the Brett Favre Magic
We had a productive Start/Sit column last week, as we took advantage of some “can’t miss” match-ups and suggested some solid starts out of Alex Smith and Ryan Grant, while made quality sleeper predictions by recommending you keep an eye on both Vince Young and Josh Freeman. Every week brings forth another collection of favorable [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 10 NFL Power Rankings: Saints the Cream of the Crop
Two close games, same old ending. The league’s two undefeated teams, the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, both survived late-game defecits to reach their 8-0 record, and remain unbeaten. For the rest of the teams and where they rank, read on: 1. New Orleans Saints (8-0) Make that three straight games the Saints did [...]
NFL Start & Sit Week 9 Review: Don’t Kill the Messenger
We backed up two straight solid weeks of gutsy start and sit calls with another batch of sensational recommendations. Guys like Alex Smith, Josh Freeman, and Ryan Grant made us look like we know what we’re talking about. And hey, if you look at the picks’ standings for the week, we’d have to argue that [...]
Winners and Losers: Matt Gentile’s Week Eight NFL Awards
What’s that noise coming from behind Peyton Manning? It’s the sound of the Houston Texans creeping up on his Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South. Houston started off the season cold but are now 5-3 heading into 7-0 Indianapolis Sunday. Unlike past games against their division rival, Houston has a chance to prove they are [...]
NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 9: Keep Eli Manning on the Bench
Last week’s Start/Sit column offered you an average 8-7 record, but also suggested you start Brett Favre, who threw four touchdown passes, and LaDainian Tomlinson, who finally had a big game, and scored two touchdowns. We also wisely suggested you to sit Eli Manning (above), and continue to suggest you to do so. As for [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Week 8 Power Rankings
(The idle Broncos lose their top spot) The unofficial “best team in the league”, the Denver Broncos, sat out week seven’s exciting action, and despite their solid play through a 6-0 record, they won’t be able to hold onto their top spot. If they weren’t already the team to beat in the NFL, the New [...]
Week Five Start/Sit Review: Don’t Kill the Messenger
After a couple so-so weeks with some hot hits and a few mishaps, we finally ran into a week full of bad start calls. For that I apologize. But, like always, before you “Kill the Messenger” and lose all hope in yours truly, take a step back and see why these picks or suggested sits [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 10th) Eli Manning still questionable, Jerricho Cotchery not a lock for Monday Night, and more
(Cotchery’s hamstring could keep him out.) Eli Manning Participates in Saturday Practice This just means he would probably play if he absolutely had to. But since the rush attack is operating smoothly, the defense is competing at an elite level, and they’re facing the Oakland Raiders, there isn’t much sense in rushing Manning back. Still, [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 8th): Seattle’s Hasselbeck to start in Week 5, Pats’ Taylor to have ankle surgery, Lions’ Stafford likely out vs. Steelers, and more
(Can Carnell finally fight off Derrick Ward?) Matt Hasselbeck Likely to Start in Week Five Hasselbeck returned to full practice and didn’t have any major problems. He reportedly looked good and is expected to start against Jacksonville’s very beatable secondary. While this news is up-lifting, he’s still a major risk, considering he failed to make [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 6th) Eli Manning Gets Second Opinion, Michael Crabtree to Meet With 49ers, and more
(Should the Steelers run with the hot hand in Mendenhall?) Michael Crabtree Meeting With 49ers Today On the surface, all this means is that Crabtree doesn’t actually want to sit out the entire season, and the ‘Niners will probably win this contract battle. This doesn’t make Crabtree a hot commodity all of a sudden, however, [...]
